Depends on what they can afford. Lot's of FA PG this year.

MO will love this post.

No. He's developing fine. He's never going to be a Chris Paul, but Sam Presti is okay with that. Westbrook brings enough other positives to off-set his weakness as a true #1.

Good article on Westbrook

Eric Maynor is injured, and he seems like a promising young point guard. No reason to sign a worthless player in Miller when you have a better one on the team.

And I did see a stat where Oklahoma City is like 24-4 this season when Westbrook has more shot attempts than Durant.

It wasn't so blatant that it's considered an "absolute" by any means.

You have a good point. It's a lot easier to claim it's obvious when watching it replayed in slow motion. It's one of those plays that can go either way at full speed.

He fouled him at the start, middle and end of that shot. It's not as "blatant" as a massive hack or push, but letting that call go, one that clearly affected the shot, is bad officiating. LBJ didn't even really make a play on the ball so much as he locked up with Durant and made more than moderate body to body contact.

Heat up 2-1 now. Looks like experience is taking over.

Well, we didn't get embarrassed, but the result is the same. We're behind the eight ball now.

The #1 thing OKC needs to do is MAKE THEIR FREAKING FREE THROW SHOTS! If OKC were shooting near their season average FT percentage, we could easily be up 3-0. The missed FT's are absolutely killing us, and it's something that has never been a problem for us. I don't know what it is, but it's infected the whole team it seems.

What a dumb fool by westbrook

Good ol' Westbrook.

Awful, Awful foul. The Thunder get so close to overcoming awful officiating and then they just blow up. They either miss free throws, have a dumb foul or go cold for quarters at a time.

hah @ blaming the officiating again.

I think he was blaming Westbrook for fouling.

Ravage I love you but I question what games you watch.

Sorry Rav but anyone who doesn't think officiating detirmines games in the NBA is not paying attention. I understand not going as far as me(conspiracy theory nut) but at minimum the officiating in the NBA is inept, at worst it is corrupt.
